Re: Anyone lost thier BaneBots Carrier pins?

Banebots, in a hurry to get these new carrier plates out, had to substitute a standard pin that they could easily obtain in place of their own, longer pin. Therefore, the pins are a bit shorter. I guess the lack of engagement inside the hole is allowing the pins to back out in operation.

I suppose teams should press the pins back out and use some press-fit loc-tite to retain them. That seems like the easiest solution. Any team with an arbor press should be able to take care of it in a few minutes.
